Moodster App!

25/7/2019

Recently I've had one of my Software Developer friends join me on the project to help push the app side of the project forward. Glen has spent the past few years honing his craft as as Web Developer, which makes him perfect to bring on board for this frontend work for the project.

This is a really positive thing for multiple reasons:

He can fill in the gaps of my web development knowledge.
He will quickly be able to get a Frontend Web/Mobile application up and running.
He will bring new found motivation to the project work.

Already he has made a huge impact on the project. We've decided to use React Native for the application portion of the project. This gives us the benefit of utilising Glen's Javascript knowledge while allowing us to create Native Mobile applications for the project.

Anyway lets show off some progress photos!

Here are some of the basic screens we have put together for the moodster mobile apps:

So we currently have:

Login screen.
Mood submit screen.
Team member screen.
Mood history screen.

These are only basic designs and they are mostly filled with dummy data but I think they look fantastic and I'm super excited to have Glen join me on this project.

As always, when I wrote my last post I was lucky enough to have plenty of time on my hands. Recently however work has been some what manic trying to ensure that our team meets the delivery date for our new feature, which has had a knock on effect with my own projects.

I'm hoping to get back into this CMake work and really revive the JBEngine project but until work lets up I don't think that's going to happen. I'm simply writing this post to try and keep this all at the forefront of my brain. I really don't want my motivation to slip on this again!

Thanks

Back to it... CMake again!

So I've decided to revive the JBEngine Project. I gave it up a while ago due to lack of motivation when trying to make it cross platform. The main reason for that was the steep learning curve for using CMake and generally having no real milestones for a very long time. The project was in a state of failing compilation for so long that I ended up giving up. So how am I going to be able to motivate myself this time?

Agile, and how it's effected me

So being a Scrum Master at work for the past work or so I've found out how important it is to break tasks down into small manageable goals/stories. In doing this I will be able to keep myself motivated by ticking things off in my task tracking application. There are still going to be a few problems getting started though.

Too many changes!

So during my development almost a year or so ago I had my project in a state where there were many files edited/added such as many CMake files and lots of changes for making the source code cross-platform. Due to my frantic approach at trying to get the project fully working I now have multiple machines with various files edited with no way of knowing which are required, which aren't working correctly and which I need to just get rid of.

Step by Step Plan

I'm going to take things step by step now, just to get the project in a clean state before making any major changes.

I need to figure out which source code changes are really required and get them checked in.
I then need to figure out which of my CMakeLists actually work and get the correct ones checked in.
I will then delete anything else that is not required.

I want 'git status' to tell me that my repo is completely clean before I even consider making any new changes.

That's all for this time,
Thanks
